Colleges: Todman, Lynn lift Swarthmore over McDaniel

McWelling Todman and Chris Lynn picked the perfect time to net their first goals of the season, as the seniors keyed a late charge Wednesday that lifted Swarthmore over host McDaniel, 3-1, and into first place in the Centennial Conference men’s soccer standings.

Jack Momeyer headed home a throw-in by Jake Weiner to pull the Garnet (7-2-4 overall, 3-0-2 league) even in the 11th minute. Todman took a pass from Wyatt McCall and rocketed in the go-ahead goal from 25 yards out just before halftime, and Lynn added the insurance score late in regulation by chipping the ball past McDaniel’s on-rushing goalkeeper.

Eastern 0, Manhattanville 0: Joe Centeno made five saves in recording the Eagles’ ninth shutout, but despite carrying the action for most of the 110 minutes Eastern (10-2-1, 2-0-1) failed to score for just the second time this season and had to settle for the Freedom Conference draw.

Eric Giovagnoli and Brandon Beaumont combined for nine shots for the Eagles, who dominated in shots (18-8) and corner kicks (13-5).

Rutgers-Camden 1, Haverford 0: The Fords (8-4-1) played superb defense and received seven saves from goalie Sam Miller, but the eighth-ranked Scarlet Raptors (13-0-2) broke through for the nonconference win on Bobby Foster’s header in the 78th minute.

In continuing its mastery of Bryn Mawr, Haverford outshot the hosts 26-5 and rode Meg Boyer’s goal in the 38th minute to a 1-0 win in Centennial Conference action.

Robin Chernow made three saves in notching the shutout for the Fords (6-2-5, 3-0-3), who extended their unbeaten streak to 10 and have defeated — and blanked — the Owls (1-12, 0-7) in each of their last 20 meetings.

Cabrini 2, Immaculata 0: Melissa Scanzano converted a feed from Gabby Meck less than 13 minutes into the match and Kaitlin Zisa added an insurance goal in the 59th minute as the host Cavaliers (7-3-4, 5-1-2) handed the Mighty Macs (5-7-2, 4-1-2) their first loss in Colonial States Athletic Conference.

Scanzano, a junior midfielder out of Haverford High, and Interboro product Bree Thompson had four shots apiece, and freshman Marissa Jenkins needed just one save to post her fifth clean sheet for the Cavs, who are unbeaten in their last six and have won their last three by shutout.

Swarthmore 2, Muhlenberg 1: Freshman Mele Johnson picked up a loose ball at the top of the box and fired a shot inside the right post in the 87th minute, as the Garnet (6-4-2, 2-3-2) rallied to take the Centennial Conference match.

Earlier in the second half, Emma Sindelar kickstarted the comeback when she took a through ball from Caroline Khanna and unleashed a high shot that found the top corner of the net. Reba Magier earned the win with seven saves.

Holt sidestepped the Owls’ charging goalie and fired the ball into the back of the cage just 3 minutes, 12 seconds into the match, igniting a four-goal first half. Sophomore starter Lindsey Lopes and freshman Abbey Frerotte split the goaltending chores, combining for two saves, as the Fords (7-5, 3-3) celebrated their 17th consecutive win over Bryn Mawr (3-9, 0-7).

Cabrini 4, Gwynedd Mercy 2: Kerry Anne Farrell deflected home Taylor Mack’s pass in the 11th minute, giving the sophomore out of Archbishop Prendergast her team-leading 12th goal of the season, putting the Cavaliers (6-6, 4-0) on track for the Colonial States Athletic Conference road win.

Erin McLaughlin scored twice and Mack put in her own rebound for Cabrini, which has won its last four.

In a meeting between Colonial States Athletic Conference unbeatens, Danielle Carrozza led the way with 15 kills and a dozen digs, Penncrest All-Delco Sophia Sokolovich totaled 17 digs and Cassidy Koenig tallied 33 assists in leading Cabrini (19-4, 8-0) to a 25-19, 25-17, 25-20 win at Neumann.

Kelsey D’Imperio led the Knights (15-10, 6-1) with 10 kills and two blocks, while Kat Wolf handed out 25 assists and Katelin Kuklentz notched a dozen digs.

Messiah 3, Widener 0: Penncrest grad Sabrina Barbieri (33 assists) and fellow freshman Brooke Ruditys (nine kills, 17 digs) turned in solid performances for the Pride (14-12, 2-5), but Messiah used a late run in the second set and went on to sweep the Commonwealth Conference match, 25-23, 25-22, 25-20.
